Cases that work with wireless charging - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Aside from the bumpers, are there any more protective cases that will work with the wireless charging orb? My N4 is "estimated" to ship on 3/1 and I'd like to have something to protect it when it gets here.
Thanks!

Ringke fusion, ringke slim so far. Haven't tested my others.

Hmmmm.. Just now my diztronic seemed to slide down a little. S line worked better. My buddy says poetic bumper in unusable. He said it slides down in seconds.

It has been reported that the Ballistic case for the Nexus 4 also works with the orb... (can't tell you by my own experience as my orbs are on their way as of this reply)

Cases I have: Nillikin, Poetic bumper and atmosphere (although some have had issues with the bumper), Rearth fusion, and a 2 layer otterbox knock off I bought off ebay (this one surprised me as the phone sits almost a 1/4" away from the orb surface).

Poetic palette, diztronic tpu and ultra thin, and cruzerlite case (I have the XDA case)

i was worried

i was worried about that and now its confirmed that it does slide. Why would they make a tilted wireless charger? makes no sense to me.

if the ballistic case works and it is one of the thicker cases available for the nexus 4 so it's probably a safe bet that most cases will work with QI chargers. I think only those 3 layer heavy duty cases or the Seidio with it's kickstand might be a problem for wireless charging.

so you can see the screen, it's not just a charger but dock too. it was designed for the back of the nexus 4 not a case

That should not have happened as the dimensions of the poetic bumper is very close to the LG bumper (even thinner according to some posts), and contradicts what other posters in this thread are reporting. Is your friend using a protective cover for the back glass by chance?

Thanks for reply. That would be quite annoying seeing how difficult it is to get hold of the official bumper. This orb charger has turned out to be quite a disappointment hasn't it? No magnets, no audio out and it doesn't even have a nfc tag embedded. The nexus 7 dock now look like a perfect example of how a dock should be done in comparison. I am starting to lose faith in wireless charging.

I saw that but that statement was made before the orbs were released. My assumption they were talking about the LG and Energizer and similar chargers that were out before the official one.

- Poetic Bumper is useless, slides right off.
- The Meifeng case (which is one of my favs) slowly slides off, unfortunately.
- The Rinke Slim works perfectly.

Not what I wanted, but
I bought the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Case for LG Google Nexus 4 and it works great with the wireless charger. I doesn't slide at all.
I have always used Seido Active cases (captivate, i9100, and S3) because I like the dual layer approach, but they added the stupid metal kickstand on the Nexus 4 version.
WHY? Seido, what the heck? You add a metal kickstand the will screw up the field on the device capable of wireless charging, but leave them off the phones that don't support wireless charging...smh

Who's case are you waiting for?

I really like the seidio active with kickstand cases, I know they made cases for the past nexus phones and the active case foe my sensation has been hands down the best case I ever owned for any phone, and I have gone through lots of cases.
.
So what case does everyone else want to see?
I'd like to know if having a case will prevent wireless charging...
I'd probably get the bumper. I don't want to cover up the cool looking glass back but I want something for a little protection from drops and to cover up what looks to be a really scratchable chrome ring.

This. Or whichever case I can find locally that appeals to me. Honestly I never really care about brand for cases at least. It's more about their appearance and performance.
Can't see a OtterBox letting you perform that function, but some of their stuff has openings on the back, so maybe they'll take the charging adapter into consideration. What kills me about Otterbox, is they never answer a question. I realize they get tons of requests, but is it too hard to put a coming soon on their site for upcoming popular units? They have Twitter and FB, so you would think................

That's how I feel about the sidieo active cases, I have had one on my sensation for almost a year now and I am still impressed by it

[Q] Will the Nexus 4 charge wirelessly with a case on?

Has anybody experimented with how far away from the surface the wireless charging works? What kinds of cases and bumpers don't remove the back glass too far from the surface? Any experiences?

Some folk have said in the wireless charging threads that wireless charging works fine with the bumper and gel tpu cases on. So I imagine it will work fine with all manner of cases.

I've dropped mine at least 10 times alone during the times I'm at the gym working out and still no damage to my phone, or even the bumper lol.
It looks great, feels great, and provides good enough protection. Just don't drop it off of ladders.
I've tried a couple other cases but so far the bumper is the best quality. and it's made from LG. good.

I've dropped mine once and no problem, but it really depends on how it lands IMO. If suppose you were to drop the phone and something pointy hits the screen or the backside, I'm sure there might be some damage. But the way phones are, they "usually" land on one of the corners first (emphasis on the word "usually"). We can tell you all day that the bumper is enough protection, but it would just be your luck that once you get one, and drop it for the first time, it lands on some kind of object hitting the screen or backside first.
Well worth it. I think LG made the buttons on N4 hard to press so we buy bumper, well... I bought it for that reason. Without the bumper, the power button feels weird to press... I use the bumper just for the great button feedback or else it feels weird in my hands.
Has anyone tried this case:

I think the Poetic $10 bumper is worth it (even more so when it was only $6). It's a bit smaller so feels more comfortable in the hand, but I think protects it just as well as the bigger OEM bumper. And only half the cost.
The OEM bumper does have a more premium feeling build quality. But the Poetic bumper fits perfectly and the buttons work great. So seems like a better value.
Don't know about protect against drops because I don't drop my phone, but the official bumper is sick! I almost wish the real phone had these sides.

i dropped mine on a concrete floor in an underground parking lot. Bumper sustained minor marks but no damage to phone. I've used both Poetic (much cheaper) and the counterfeit dx-box bumper. They both pale in comparison to stock bumper. Yes, the stock bumper is expensive but no regrets in buying it. It looks so much better than any case out there.
I bought the LG bumper at release, sold it for a profit, got a replica, but promptly rebought the LG bumper (now that the hype has passed) and sold the replica. Yes the replicas have the look, but like most replica products, just simply doesn't have the same fit and finish as the real deal. If you're ok with the wider feel the LG bumper has on the Nexus 4, then I'd say the genuine bumper is well worth it. It's the most expensive case I've ever bought for a phone, and the only case I've actually bothered to buy twice to boot.

+1 Its worth the extra money and you guys know I've bought and tried every bumper out there. Only reason I use the replicas so much is cause of the colors. The only replica I have that fits like the OEM ones is my blue replica (just got lucky I guess). But then again the replicas are about half the price of a OEM one so I dunno Lol. Overall the OEM is the best case I've ever bought for a phone quality, looks and fit wise.

I went from poetic bumper to LG to poetic again. Looks wise, the official bumper looks like it's part of the phone. But I tend to go back to the poetic because it keeps the phone thin. Poetic has great customer service to boot.

Hmmm I would say a mix. The band is plastic and feels lil like the bezel. The tpu rubber part feels kinda like the sides of the n4 behind the bezel just with the etching done for grip. The black part around the screen feels the same just smooth without the etching. You can tell it was designed by the same designer as the N4 cause it looks like its part of the phone. Whereas the poetic bumper u can tell u have a case on. This is why I love my lg bumper cause it looks like I don't have a case on :thumbup: IMHO

+1 to this. I bought both and IMO the Poetic is the winner.
Feels much better in the hand due to the smoother edges.
Little slimmer than the official in both width and depth.
Sticks to surfaces better due to the rubber they use.
The USB port opening isn't as deep making it easier to the cables with larger ends.
And I also found the material it less slippery than the official bumper.
1/2 the price of the official bumper.
The only thing the official LG bumper is better at is looks and button feedback.
I prefer the way the poetic bumper looks and feels.. To me the lg bumper is more obvious to tell that you have a case on, Cuz no phone should be that wide.. I have somewhat big hands, and it just feels unnatural to hold.. And it gets dirty on the etched sides from holding over time, and is very difficult to clean because of the etching.. With the poetic, just wipe and you're done.. That's my take on them, anyways.

Yea, but I'm not going for looks. I just want to know if this thing is gonna protect the this fragile, fragile, fragile phone from drop of about 3-5 feet. I don't want to speed 300+ in this phone and then have it break.

Thin hard case with decent grip?

I have the diztronic tpu, but it just seems to add too much bulk for my taste, and it's slippy as hell. I have better grip without a case.
I have searched a lot here and Google, but no one really seems to talk about any of the hard cases having decent texture that helps with grip.
Are there any options that I have missed?

Oh the diztronic is a great don't get me wrong, and I only use tpu cases (diztronic, s-line, cruzerlite) on my other phones. I just find that unlike my last phone (one x) the nexus 4 is a little too bulky with a tpu case on it. Plus the finish on is just soooo slippery.
I have never used a hard case before since they seem to add very little protection compared to tpu, but I want to keep the nexus as thin and light as possible. While still giving decent protection to the screen.
Unlike a lot of people I don't care if my phone itself gets a scratch or ding in the casing of the phone. Only thing I really care about is keeping the screen as perfect as possible.

Feel is great, and it will prevent the back and sides from getting scratched, but offers little protection from drops (especially if it lands on the bottom or top as there is not much of those areas that are covered). No real shock absorption either.
Has anyone seen a review or tried one of these cases?

Its a two piece hard case but it does offer protection of all the sides.

Well, that doesn't seem all that surprising with so many reports from folks who have problems with the phone sticking to the orb. Mine sticks great to a slick surface. Not so much to a porous one.
Another vote for the Meifeng. I gave my original to a friend because I was on the whole bumper bandwagon. I missed it so much I ordered a new one. Great feeling in the hand. Not so great with the top/bottom protection but it's grippy so hopefully you won't drop it.

what are the best bumper cases?

Hello,
so as the title says, what are the best bumper cases from your experience?
When i got my n4 i bought a cheapo bumper from ebay that looked like the original. It was kinda good but the gray plastic was too firm and couldn't take any bending so it started to crack and fall out. (serves me right for trying to save a few pennies from the start)
i heard that poetic bumper is kinda nice but they had problems with durability at first, is that right?
Using the original bumper since I pre-order the phone same time on the first batch when it went on sale on the playstore... still working like it should...

You don't need to send it back for a replacement. They let you keep the broken one and sends you a new one without question, just contact them on Amazon. All Poetic cases come with two-year warranty. Poetic's newest revision fixed the problem and no longer has durability problems.
For the OEM stock bumper I had a problem where the USB charger would crack and I never dropped my phone or bumper case.
Those are the only two bumpers you can choose from unfortunately. If you want to save money, you can try and get a replica version of the LG bumper.

The main difference between the two bumpers is that:
Poetic: Less bulky compared to the LG OEM (less thick)
LG Bumper: the 'click' buttons are really nice to use and makes it super easy to access the buttons whereas the Poetic ones aren't as nice (but they're usable)
Both are great choices though.
